Ah, but that's the hook isn't it? If you properly Believe you will live forever in Heaven, you will never die. On the other hand , if you don't Believe, you will suffer eternal torture, so sorry. As incredible as it seems, there are people in our current world who believe it. No I don't have another link.You missed the point. You propose a reason people WANT to believe in an afterlife. I think your reason is wrong. I think people believe in an afterlife because they accept that others have insights and have been told there is some sort of heaven and hell.
Personally I do not think it is a binary either/or, but the same place with degrees of pleasantness and unpleasantness. Those above 50% it is heaven, those below 50% it is hell. And I think souls reincarnate.
BTW - Your link?
As for you yourself, it looks like you believe in a heaven/hell, plus reincarnation. That's fine with me, people believe in all kinds of crazy things and I don't hold it against them, at least if they are not unbearably preachy, and I don't think you are.
